Community Action Taking Applications for LIHEAP

Low income and disabled residents are encouraged to apply for energy assistance through Community Action.
 
The annual LIHEAP program is an energy assistance program that is funded through grants from the State of Illinois. Alison Rumler-Gomez indicates this time of year is crazy at Community Action because they are taking applications. She indicates unlike last year, this year the grant for the program is being funded.
 
 
Rumler-Gomez is the Community Action Executive Director and indicates those who have applied for funding in the past have had their application processed and then received a check in the mail, but that has changed recently. Now applicants have an intake worker they talk to about what programming could be available to them at Community Action.
 
 
Community Action workers have found a lot of applicants are interested in what Community Action offers, and the programming is free. Rumler-Gomez says it's encouraging people want to take an initiative and better their lives.
 
 
To get more information about LIHEAP and to fill out an application, visit your local office or contact their corporate office in Lincoln at 217-732-2159 or visit capcil.info.
